Moated site north-east of St Remigius' Church is a medieval defensive earthwork located in Leicestershire, England. The site comprises a substantial moat, a characteristic feature of high-status medieval settlements and manorial centres, which would have been dug to encircle a residential complex. Such moated sites were typically constructed between the twelfth and sixteenth centuries, with the majority dating to the medieval period, and served both defensive and status-signifying functions for their occupants. The survival of the earthwork demonstrates the medieval settlement pattern of the parish and contributes to understanding the evolution of land use and social hierarchy in the Leicestershire landscape.
